The ship was launched in June 1944 and was sunk already in November that same year during American air raids at Leyte. Akishimo featured powerful torpedo armament (a total of nine launchers), excellent maneuverability, and a distinctly Japanese superstructure design.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eAdvanced detailing in 1\/700 scale\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    Hasegawa ensured precise detailing of all key elements: superstructure, armament, deck equipment, and the characteristic silhouette of Japanese destroyers. This model serves as an excellent base for further custom enhancement—the use of aftermarket photo-etched parts (not included) is possible. The color scheme matches the standards of the Imperial Japanese Navy flotilla.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n  \u003ch3\u003eSkill level and recommendation\u003c\/h3\u003e\n  \u003cp\u003e\n    \u003cb\u003eHasegawa WL467 Akishimo\u003c\/b\u003e presents a \u003cstrong\u003emedium assembly difficulty (3\/5)\u003c\/strong\u003e. The number of details and size of the parts require precision, so we recommend this kit to intermediate and advanced modelers, especially fans of WWII naval fleets. The model works well both for collections and sea dioramas. It is an ideal choice for IJN ship collectors and anyone wishing to expand their flotilla with this valuable, historic destroyer.\n  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Hasegawa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54722380005710,"sku":"HAWL467","price":16.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0914\/5149\/0638\/files\/f24b2311ad6e20892d13320a82597104.jpg?v=1755536856","url":"https:\/\/plastmodel.de\/en\/products\/38995-hasegawa-wl467-49467-japanese-navy-destroyer-akishimo-1700","provider":"Plastmodel","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
